Rosenblum Vintners Cuvee zinfandel...

67.188.166.191

...this year's "XXXVI" has been on sale at Trader Joe's for $2.99 and usually sells for about $9 - people have been buying it by the case.
A couple of years ago an earlier version of this wine won our blind zin tasting beating some costing over $40.
So I bought a couple of bottles of this years to try it.
Yuck - not a good year for it, has kind of an off taste even though it might be better than 2-buck-chuck.
So I tried the second bottle to be sure and I ended up pouring them down the sink.
Not recommended - you might try the Ravenswood version which has been recommended but I have not had this year.

Probably show up on Last Bottle for $1.99.

BTW, have you tried any Jeff Cohn wines?

  ...he's a talented guy - made the Rosenblum wines from 1996 until 2005 so it was him, in a large part, that made the label worth $200 million to Diageo.
  
  Hope he got a big cut.
  
  I haven't tasted much of his wines in downtown Oakland but what I've had was ok - usually not varietals I've been interested in.
  
  He shares the space with Dasche who makes some really good zinfandels.
